How I Quit Burnout issue #1 (Get it in your inbox next Tuesday)

My story

When I was at the height of my burnout in 2016/17, I kept hearing people on podcasts and Twitter talking about this life where they quit their jobs, work a handful of hours a week, and sip drinks on the beach. They were saying that the action of leaving their corporate job alone unlocked the good life. This got me to a headspace where I felt the only possible way to kiss burnout goodbye was to plan an exit from the corporate world.
